Crowd. Gathers at the Train.
"You're Only a Soldier Boy" was often
whistled yesterday morning at the Ter
minal Depot, when about 050 members of
the -Oregon National Guard started off
for their nine days' camp at Gearhart
Parle For half an hour before the train
started, the '.sodier boys stood in line on
Sixth street awaiting orders, and In many
cases their mothers, sisters, cousins,
aunts, sweethearts and mothers-in-law
made as much fuss over the youthful
warriors ns if they had really been going
to the Philippines. But everybody was
good-tempered, and as the soldiers
marched Into the depot to board the train
' of 15 cars, there were many favorable
comments made on their smart and ef
fective appearance. The Nineteenth
United States Infantry" Band will leave
for camp today.

EUGENE. Or.. Sept. 3. (Special.)
Companies A and C, of the First Separ
ate Battalion, of the Oregon National
Guard, left this afternoon for Roseburg,
where they will go Into camp for nine
days. The numerical strength of the com
panies Is very light, only a very small
percentage of the men being able to get
away at this time, and the value of the
encampment will necessarily be dimin
ished in .proportion.
Target practice will be a prominent
feature of the encampment, and the; men
will have an opportunity to see what they
can do with their new rifles. A non com
missioned officer from the regular Army
has been detailed to instruct the men In
the use of the new weapon. The camp
has been named in orders as Camp Law
ton, In honor of General Lawton, who was
killed in the Philippines.

DENIES LOSS IS HEAVY
METHODIST BOOK COXCERX VISAS-
' ' CIALIiY JOUXD.
Rev. George ,P. Mains J One of Pub
lishing: Agentn, Denies Re
ports of Mismanagement.
' Rev. George P. Mains, one of the firm
of Eaton and Mains, publishing agents of
the Methodist Book Concern In New York
City, was in Portland .yesterday, and In
the course of an Interview on the condi
tion of the Methodist Book Concern, he
said:
"Incidentally passing through Portland
my attention has been called to a state
ment" appearing In The Oregonlan, Sep
tember 1, which represents that the Meth
odist Book Concern In New York has in
the present quadrennlum, through the In
competence and mismanagement of the
publishing agents, Eaton & Mains, lost
the enormous sum of $634,298.23. This is
an astounding statement, and Is without
foundation, In fact.
"The, New York Book Concern Is a very
old business Institution. It has-accumulated
In the course of many years a large
volume of machinery, printing appliances
and book plates, much of which'Is of high
Intrinsic value. It has also, In the very
nature of Its business, been under the ne
cessity of making vlde and numerous ac
counts. It has been judged In recent
years by the book committee, by Its offi
cial advisers, that the inventories of this
house generally had come to be higher in
statement than conservative business
values would Justly warrant. In obedience
to this conviction, at thej3eginnlng of the
present quadrennlum, or' In 1200, the
agents In New York, under Instruction of
the book"" committee, made very radical,
perhaps drastic, reductions in the general
Inventory of the house, including In this
action all the depositories-of the house,
which are four, located ' respectively in
Boston, Pittsburg. Detroit and San Fran
cisco. The local committee at New York,
which Is Invested by tne general confer
ence with authority to do so, revalued the
real estate, entering It at the beginning
ofthe quadrennlum at a figure consider
ably less than under which it had . pre
viously been reported. The result of these
reductions In Inventory, both In ,real
estate, appliances, stocks and accounts,
was a showing In the exhibit following
thereon of several hundred thousand dol
lars less In amount than had appeared In
the previous statements.
"It should be remembered, however, that
these reductions in inventory do not rep
resent a single dollar of 'loss' from the
valid assets .of the Institution. All the
properties of the concern which were of
value prior to these reductions were still
In the assets of the concern after these
nominal reductions, just as certainly as
before.
"Any person of business discernment
will instantly see that a nominal reduc
tion In Inventory, Instead of being a real
loss to a business house, ordinarily repre
sents a conservative management.
"This concern has not only not lost In
the last quadrennlum, one dollar by mis
management or lncompetenncy, but as a
result of .thelarge reductions of Inven
tory previously made, it now goes forth to
Its constituency with a most conservative
exhibit of available values. The prop
erties of the New York Book Concern to
day would bring in the market, under
forced sale, all that its present exhibit
calls for.
"Moreover, the concern was never more
prosperous during, Its entire history of
more than 100 years, than at present. For
Instance, seven years ago, owing to heavy
obligations previously assumed for en
tirely legitimate purposes, the concern
was In debt to an amount of more than
J500.CC0. During the last seven years.
however, the. last dollar of this large in
debtedness has been paid. In addition
there has been paid during the same
period In response to the demands of the
general conference for dividends and sub
sidies, sums aggregating more than $200,-
000. "We have accumulated also within the
same period a 'fire fund' of $100,000, which
stands to the credit of the house, Invested
In gilt-edged and readily convertible interest-bearing
securities. "We have also
within the time mentioned been able so
far to accumulate a working casTi capital,
as to have been under no necessity for the
last two years of borrowing any moneys
from the banks for the purposes of cur
rent business, a thing which we were
often under the necessity of doing in
previous years.
"No statement could he more misleading
or unjust than that which unfortunately
appears In your columns of September 1.
No losses have occurred from recent man
agement. The reductions reported arc
not losses, but represent simply a nominal
and healthy adjustment of Inventory to
thoroughly conservative bases of value.
The recent management of the New York,
Book Concern has received verv nro-
nounced commendation from the thorough
ly representative body of men who make
up the general book committee, which
committee has official supervision of the
entire publishing Interests of the Metho
dist Episcopal Church. The. New York
Book Concern, as a business institution,
so far from being In any sense invali
dated, commands today an unchallenged
credit In any money market on the globe.
I wish, to express my appreciation of the
courtesy extended to me personally by
The Oregonlan, In receiving these state
ments for publication."
GAMBLERS OUT ON BAIL
Men Accused by Nine All Boast of
Good Reputations.
James Flood, Thomas FIsk and E. E.
Cooper, the three men who are charged
with having defrauded Charles G. Nine,
a recent arrival from Baltimore, in a
poker game, were arraigned before Judge
Cleland yesterday on a charge of gamb
ling. They pleaded not guilty, and were
released from custody on $200 ball each.
Informations were filed against them by
District Attorney John Manning.
H. McNaughton, of the Multnomah
Roofing Paint Company, appeared In
court and represented that Cooper Is not
-a professional gambler or big mitt man,
as has been alleged, but is instead his
business associate and partner. Mr. Mc
Naughton put up ball for Cooper, and
Peter Grant acted as surety for Flood
and Flsk. The latter are recent arrivals
"from Seattle, and contend that they can
prove a good reputation by any number
of witnesses.

EAGER FOR WIDE DRIVE
WHITE HOUSE ROAD IMPROVE
MENT STRONGLY URGED.
Portland Driving? Association Be
lieve County Shqald Not Delay
on Account of Expense.
A meeting of the Portland Driving As
sociation for the, purpose of pushing
along the completion of the improvement
of the "White House road, was held last
night at the office of M. D. Wisdom In
the Hamilton building.
The improvement consists of widening
the road from 60 to SO feet from Hamil
ton avenue to the White House and about
$15,000 has already been expended In grad
ing, surveying, etc. The rest of the work
to be performed, including the moving
Lack of fences and buildings, and macad
amizing. It Is estimated will cost $5000 to
$6000.
The discussion by members present was
very spirited: A. C. Lohmlre said the as
sociation in the beginning guaranteed to
secure the right of way of 20 feet to
widen the road. That was two years and
a half ago. They secured the right of
way through processes of the courts at a
cost of $600. "My plan," continued the
speaker, "Is to move the fences and build
ings baclcat once. The county agreed to
move the fences and buildings back, and
to stand between the owners and loss
Wc went out with a .contractor, who
wanted $S0O for the work, and I told him
it was too high, that $500 was enough.
Some owners of buildings got damages,
and these must move the structures them
selves. There are only four or five build
ings to move. If they are moved, and the
county does not Improve the road, there
will be the biggest howl from the property
owners, who gave the right of way, you
ever heard."
'Hasn't the county already accepted the
road. Isn't there an agreement to open
the road full width from Hamilton avenue

President Zimmerman
said the asso
ciation had collected subscriptions from
Jr ivit
the citizens of Portland for sprinkling
, , ,. . f..i ). . ,,,, ,i,,i,
and ought to fulfill Its obligation whether
the county does or not. but one sprinkler
would be sufficient this month.
Gustave Rosenblatt and others agreed
o cin 0,.v, J
season with th; rains that will come, and
that too much sprinkling would make the J
road muddy.
"They can't bury the dead for dust,"
commented Mr. Zimmerman, "unless we
sprinkle. A great many people believe i
.that road Is for the benefit of the driving
association, but it Is for the benefit of the
general public."
It was decided to continue the sprinkling,
and not cut Mr. Rohse out. and Mr. Zim
merman next remarked that he thought
the County Court would do something
otherwise there would not be a stake left
soon, and the survey would have to be
made over atraln.
Gustave Rosenblatt took occasion to say j
in this connection that the county has es- '
tabllshed the line of the road, and anyone ,
placing a building within that line can be
made to move it back. t
Mr. Zimmerman said It was a great In- ;
Justice that the road was not completed
and the line finally settled. "We can't
build houses," he said. "I am waiting to ',
build houses now and can't do It." ' (
Mr. Rosenblatt said there was very lit
tle grading to do. and very little macad
amizing. There were some places to be
straightened, and fences and buildings to
movei The driving association had agreed
to sprinkle the road with oil as Is done
ln California, and make a first-class road.
Mr. Zimmerman said that once finished
the driving association could raise $2500
to $3000 per year by subscription to keep
the road In No. 1 condition.
Mr Rosenblatt, speaking of ?Jr. Rohse's
opposition to the widening of the road ln
front of Rohse's Park, which wlll take
away a strip of ground, said he had talked
to Rohse, who was inclined to be fair,
and had not decided to bring an Injunc
tion suit, but thought the county ought
to share the expense.
Mr. Zimmerman Jh response remarked:
"The county can condemn the right of
way and have It settled by arbitration.
Land can be condemned from here to
SalemMf It Is required as a public utll- ,
Ity."
Mr. Xiohmlre explained that Rohse had
only owned the property In dispute about
a year and the stakes establishing the
new road line were there when he bought
It. He was only trying to, get a little
money out of the county.

RICH- IN MINERAL WEALTH
"Wallowa Connty Resources

Are Bo
F. D. McCully, a merchant of Joseph,
Wallowa County, and one of the most
promlnerit citizens In his part of the
state, said last night that his county Is
just beginning to uncover' its extensive
mineral resources.
"It's easy to see," he remarked, "from
the little prospecting that has been done !
that Wallowa is exceedingly rich In min
eral wealth."
The growing copper camp at Eureka on
Snake River and the development of the
tenderfoot mining project, 14 miles south
of Joseph, Mr. McCully cited as the big
gest enterprises under way. The Eureka
project was described in these columns
about two weeks rszo In an Interview with
Representative Williamson, who. In com- j
pany with Mr. McCully, had just visited
the camp.
"We desire," said Mr. McCully, -"to
establish steady lines of steady com
munication and transportation with Eu
reka. This camp has a bright future. It
cannot, however, depend upon Snake
River for transportation all the year.
Just now It Is shut off from Lewiston by
the inability of the steamer Imnaha to
ascend the stream.
The promoters of the Tenderfoot mine
are building a wagon road to their prop
erty. This roaa will be finished In De
cember. Over It machinery will be hauled
to the mine. "A stamp mill and smelter
will be put up on the property," said Mr.
McCully. "The ore Is exceedingly rich,
some of It assaying $400 a ton in copper
and gold. This last Summer several of
the promoters took away about 2CO0
samples of the ore. They seemed to be
